   Acme comes to mind, but it isn’t very poetical.

   And fried green tomatoes. Ripe ones are okay.

   The first time I got sick after we were married, my wife was in the sickroom every 5 minutes for one reason or another. I finally had to ask her to just let me rest, which she did. We talked about it afterward, learning that each of us has different needs. She appreciated her mom hovering over her when she was sick. I needed undisturbed rest, to fight off the illness. I felt I had to rouse a bit when she came in, and it exhausted me. People are different; don’t be too quick to think you can fix things. Guys often like extended quiet time. It’s one of the reasons fishing is so popular.

   The density of large, curvy unbroken chips is lower than the density of the smaller broken bits, once you take into account the amount of air surrounding each type of chip. Even with Pringles, the smaller, denser bits sink to the bottom.

    It depends on the assumptions. If the taxing authority insists on taxing the fair market value of $3150, the sales tax would be 5.5% of $3150, or $173.25. 90% of $3150 is $2835. He would need $2835 + 173.25 to purchase the ring in that case, or $3008.25. Unless he can haggle with the store, or come up with alternate financing, he doesn’t get the ring (stupid taxes!)
